Serengeti National Park
Home to the Great Migration - Africa's most famous wildlife spectacle
About Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is Tanzania's oldest and most renowned national park, spanning approximately 14,750 square kilometers of pristine wilderness. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981, the Serengeti is globally famous for hosting the greatest wildlife show on Earth - the annual Great Migration of over 1.5 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras.
The park's diverse ecosystems range from vast open plains in the south to rolling hills in the western corridor and wooded grasslands in the north. This variety of habitats supports an extraordinary concentration of wildlife year-round, including significant populations of lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and over 500 bird species. The Serengeti boasts one of Africa's highest densities of large predators, offering unparalleled opportunities to witness dramatic hunting scenes.
The endless golden plains, dotted with distinctive rocky kopjes and acacia trees, create one of Africa's most iconic landscapes. These kopjes serve as important wildlife havens, often sheltering lions and leopards. Whether experiencing the thundering hooves of the migration, witnessing a pride of lions on a kill, or drifting silently over the plains in a hot air balloon at dawn, the Serengeti delivers unforgettable safari moments that have captivated adventurers for generations.
